About the Item

Mechanical watch movements are amazing. Every jeweler has a zillion of them, since the cases are frequently melted for their metal value. Eytan Brandes has always appreciated these tiny marvels and has made a few of them into pendants, but he likes them to be a bit stealthy -- not scream, "HEY! I'm watch guts!" His latest pendant, in 14 karat yellow gold, is a perfect example -- with the border of raised dots -- Eytan's "caviar" pattern -- blends interestingly into the busy landscape of a mechanical watch movement, with its red jewels and steel wheels. This particular movement isn't very old -- it was probably made in the 1990s or thereabouts by Gotham Watch Co. For the chain, we decided to go with beads -- in this case glossy black natural spinel, individually knotted with golden brown thread. The clasp is from Eytan's Big Box o' Old Clasps -- a squared bayonet in 14 karat gold with a figure 8 safety catch. The chain is removable, so you can wear the pendant with other chains (and the top loop is oversized to accommodate just about every chain in your chain wardrobe). Boring Details: Pendant length: 1.2" Pendant width: 0.8" Chain length: 19" Bead size: 4mm Pendant weight: 7.8 grams Total necklace weight: 25.4 grams 14 karat gold weight (not including clasp): 4.8 grams Note: If you would like to purchase the pendant without the chain, or with a different chain, just let us know; we'll provide options and adjusted pricing.

"Spinal Spinel" Pendant in 18K Gold with Black Spinel Drop & Beaded Necklace
By Eytan Brandes
Located in Sherman Oaks, CA
Eytan made a pendant like this in 2020 using some stray 18k discs and tubes that he had acquired so long ago he doesn't remember where they came from. That pendant sold immediately, but it was basically a one-off since he had 15 stray discs and 14 stray tubes and the pendant used up all of them. But Eytan has been making jewelry for almost fifty years and in fifty years, things get moved around, stuff gets separated, boxes get shoved here, envelopes get shoved there, the moon waxes and wanes, and before you know it, your shop is like an advent calendar...

Wendy Brandes 18K Yellow Gold Medallion Necklace With Skull-Shaped Black Diamond
By Wendy Brandes
Located in New York, NY
Medallions are worn to invoke guidance and luck, or remind you of what you've overcome and where you're headed. This pendant combines the ancient jewelry concept of Memento Mori with modern-day gem-cutting technologies in the form of a single black diamond cut into a skull shape. The whole design is filled with markers of the wearer’s life. White diamond baguettes pointing in four directions, invoking a compass. The Latin phrase “CARPE DIEM” is inscribed as a reminder to live life to the fullest each day, no matter which direction that takes you. Because Wendy intended this medallion to speak to the wearer’s personal mantras, the inscription is written in Leonardo da Vinci-style mirror writing, so that the message is clearest when you're looking at your own reflection. 18K yellow gold, satin finish with distressing. Fancy-cut black diamond in skull...
